D'Artagnan Romances

From TheBestLinks.com

The d'Artagnan Romances are a set of three novels by Alexandre Dumas telling the story of the musketeer d'Artagnan from his humble beginnings in Gascony to his death as a marshal of France in the siege of Maastricht in 1673.

Dumas based the life and character of d'Artagnan on the 17th century captain of musketeers Charles de Batz-Castelmore, Comte d'Artagnan.

The three novels are:

• The Three Musketeers, set in 1625; first published in serial form in the magazine Le Siècle between March and July 1844. Dumas claimed it was based on manuscripts he had discovered in the Bibliothèque Nationale.
• Twenty Years After, set in 1648; serialized from January to August, 1845.
• The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later, set between 1660 and 1673; serialized from October 1847 to January 1850. This vast novel is often published in three volumes, called The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Louise de la Vallière and The Man in the Iron Mask.
